An encaustic oil painting on board by Eugene, Oregon artist Pat Arrera (1946-2026). This particular series she looked to the erosive and decaying qualities of nature for inspiration. Using encaustic (oil and pigments mixed with wax) she was able to capture a very textured and timeless quality in her work.
Pat was a multi disciplined artist working in printmaking, ceramics and painting. She would move on to something different about every 10 years. About the time she felt it took to master that particular medium.
